选项
A、optional
B、potential
C、promising
D、alternative
答案
D
解析
本题考核的知识点是:形容词辨析+修饰成分。optional意为“可自由选择的”,如:English is an optional lesson.英语是选修课。potential意为“可能的,潜在的”。promising意为“有希望的,有前途的”。alternative意为“其他的,两者择一的”,如:The way was blocked,so we went by an alternative road.这条路被挡住了,因此我们走了另一条路。根据文章,制造纸张的方法还有其他可能的选择,只有alternative能够确切表达这层含义。
